I know I was not alone in catching up with the other Indy films before the latest would drop.
A quick overview:
- Raiders of the Lost Ark: One of the very best adventure movies ever made.
- The Temple of Doom: Fun (thank you Short Round), despite its dark themes and cultural depictions.
- The Last Crusade: One of the best father-son duos in cinematic history.
- Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Honestly, some decent moments and set pieces (despite falling completely flat at the conclusion).
Despite how you rank the films, one thing is universal: the role of Henry “Indiana” Jones, Jr. should only be played by Harrison Ford. To recast him would indeed seem nothing short of sacrilegious, meaning we “needed” at least one more Indy film as Ford is now an octogenarian.
Nothing else to say
